While I do know that this is the place where I should write things related to whatever goes in a profile, but I will get there when I can make myself enthusiastic enough to start on that. So in stead I will use this as a platform today to bring up a quick concern on my currently ongoing work titled - "The ELEMENTAL Infinity - Uzumaki Origins

So I had a genuinely interesting review that I took the pain to answer with VERY big lines. And it pertains to a lot of aspects and concerns of my stories that I decided to share both the review and my response to it so that it can answer any such queries rising again in the future.

(Review):

Okay... I don't have a problem with Naruto being older than Yami. NO problem at all. I don't have a problem with making them or just him super OP. What I do have a problem is Orochimaru. From what I understand is that he went rouge during the Third Shinobi War or a short time after. He was declared nuke-nin for the experiments he had conducted IN Konoha. Sarutobi was still Hokage and let Orochimaru go instead of killing him. Therefore, it does not make any sense for him to still be there at least ten years later

(Answer):

To be quite honest with you, it was quite a mess of timelines in canon. Sometimes they said the San'nin to have risen during the Third War and then they claim it to be the Second War. Once they said Uzushio was destroyed at the beginning of the Third War and then they say it was at the end of the Second War. I don't even know why the First War was fought so I substituted it with a logical scenario - that of the civilian governments the world over getting too Ansty of established shiobi factions rather than warring ones. We don't know when or how Hashirama dies and canon proclaims it to be at the First War which also took Tobirama's life. And don't even get me on the rather convoluted case of the Gold and Silver brothers once staging an assassination during a Konoha-Kumo peace talk and thus starting the First War and then Tobirama is said to have been killed by the Gold Force after the war started. I mean where the heck was the almighty Hashirama? Who the hell even killed him? The bloke has to be infamous for succeeding where Madara and Kakuzu failed.

Not wanting to deal with it all I revamped the entire timeline in my retconned lore - and don't worry for those are what are going to make Yamisuke's life more hellish and get readers more interested. I already gave him a curve ball by keeping Rin alive and soon he will realize that while many scenarios will play out the same he is not in a world that respects canon much. Essentially the acts will be there but the actors and circumstances not so much.

Now as for your question on Orochimaru - I will begin with agreeing with you. But I have a better use for him than portraying him as some jaded psycho scientist whose reasons for betraying his village made as much sense to me as the prequel triology Anakin Skywalker's sudden fall to the dark side and cravings for jedi hunting - starting with children. (Seriously I had given up on Star Wars until the clone wars tv series started running at which point the elder Skywalker became so favourite of mine that I refuse to believe that that character and the Vader from original series and rebels are the same - they have to be from some alternate universes because I refuse to believe that Sidious can turn this Anakin when the celestial Son couldn't). Well Orochimaru at least at the end became useful in a greater capacity than a wailing Vader brute forcing his master to an anticlimatic end.

Orochimaru is the proverbial middle ground between my OC and the rest of the village as I cannot envision any other characters here. Give the man his test subjects to keep him happy and he is surprisingly mellow. Give him extra knowledge to pursue and he is ecstatic. And whatever need is there for him as an antagonist - well the Narutoverse has enough of them for somebody else to fill the required niches.

So yeah I tweaked the timelines in my favor a little. Killed Hashirama (reasons even if haven't prepared yet for I still cannot fathom just what the f*#k killed him). Tobirama died at the peacetalks after covering the grounds for the six of his students to escape - thus triggering the Second War. Had the San'nin rise to infamy alongside the White Fang in this war where Konoha fought against Ame somewhere. Took down Uzushio at the end of this war as a major factor for its conclusion. Then had the Third War where Konoha allied with Suna and Ame to fight against the Kumo-Kiri-Iwa backed Kusa. Killed Sakumo Hatake in this war as well. And lastly delayed Orochimaru betraying the village until Hiruzen took the office the second time - or would have done so had canon events played out by my timeline.

On this note I conclude that all the big inconsistencies I have, are foundations for the plot I have cooked up in my mind. So while I will follow canon events (at least until the shippuden archive hopefully) the events in themselves will be played by different characters and due to different scenarios or circumstances. I respect canon but will not adhere to it as otherwise I might as well have copied then all down after all. I will leave out the hint however that my endgame is very far away and traverses a trail of windy and very unexpected road. That is however if I can get to traverse the path and reach my endgame of course.

With that said here is my timeline for The ELEMENTAL Infinity saga, which I had posted initially in my story's second chapter. I'll get around to updating it regularly as the future plots develop; however, for the current plot of my story, my established tmeline until the Kyūbi incident is as follows:

(UPDATED - 23.08.2020)

B.V. – (Before Village)

Circa 1307 B.V. – The Ōtsutsuki brothers rebelled against the rule of their mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki; Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki became the first ever Jinchūriki and the only one of the Jūbi;

Circa 1300 B.V. – Hamura Ōtsutsuki embarked on his voyage to the moon with half of the Ōtsutsuki clansmen and the elder of his twin children leaving behind his daughter and younger son in the care of their uncle

Circa 1284 B.V. – Indra and Asura Ōtsutsuki entered into their first official conflict

Circa 1283 B.V. – Hamura's younger son who inherited his Yang chakra disagreed with the enter ordeal of his uncle's ideals, and seceded from the clan and formed his own faction under the name of his grandmother; The Kaguya clan became the eldest offshoot of the Ōtsutsuki clan

Circa 1282 B.V. – Hagoromo manifested the nine Bijū from his mindscape; After passing his last will to them Hagoromo passed away due to the chakra depletion shock to his system from releasing the entirety of the Jūbi chakra

Circa 1251 B.V. – Indra's descendants assigned themselves the name Uchiha and thus officially seceded from the Ōtsutsuki clan while vowing to retake the name only after defeating their rivals-descendants of Asura

Circa 1237 B.V. – The descendants of Hamura's daughter who inherited his Yin chakra seceded from the Ōtsutsuki clan with all the other Byakugan wielders under their banner and thus named themselves the noble clan of Hyūga; In order to maintain a stability that their parent clan seemed to lack, the descendants of Hamura formed the clan's main house and sealed their clansmen under an archaic caged-bird seal to form the branch house – subdued under the authority of the seal to never incite a rebellion; The decision was met with outrage and heavy disapproval from both the parent clan and their sibling clans, thus forcing the Hyūgas to seek refuge amongst the land's nobility never to return until the dawn of Konoha

Circa 1166 B.V. – In a bid to achieve peace to the century-long conflict the then head of Ōtsutsuki clan (a transmigrant of Asura) decided to abolish the reason behind the conflict itself – the headship to the name of Ōtsutsuki. Entrusting upon his younger half-sister (the result of an alliance with the Kaguya clan by his father) the majority of the clan's wealth and the entirety of their collected knowledge and articrafts the brother took the name of Senju in defiance of the world tree he blamed for this conflict. Thus the descendants of Asura officially seceded from the clan by giving up their inheritance in a bid of peace.

Circa 1163 B.V. – The sister along with the majority of the remnant Ōtsutsuki clansmen fled from Hi no Kuni, protected fro the pursuing Uchiha by her brother and his followers. After a long journey they came upon a vacant island lush with vegetation and a rich wildlife. The sister finally ordered setting their camp on the island

Circa 1161 B.V. – With arts lost to the history the remnants of the Ōtsutsuki clan built themselves a veritable fortress; The sister created a defense while showing a mastery of sealing arts never seen before in her ancestors; on the completion of this project of settlement formation on all the islands of the archipelago, the sister used her sealing mastery to surround their new home with dangerous and violent whirlpools

Circa 1160 B.V. – The ruling council, in respect of the sister and her achievements that gave them their new home , christened their archipelago the Uzu no Kuni (The Land of Whirlpools) while their main island settlement was named Uzushiogakure no Sato (The Village hidden in the Whirlpools) – thus becoming the first hidden village; The sister finally absolved the Ōtsutsuki name to extinction by the orders of her brother and named her entire clan the Uzumaki. Thus finally ended the blood-soaked Ōtsutsuki name with the Uzumakis becoming the youngest, the largest and the richest offshoot of the once ruling clan having an entire country to their name. in the following ages they will also serve to be the Senju's most steadfast allies and also the neutral grounds to host the numerous peace treaties that were to be signed between the Senju and Uchiha – never to last even a decade.
